My repo files (I use local mirror repositories with mrepo so I do not 
have do download same packages  from interenet, since 80% of Linux 
machines are inside my network). Priorities are set by my trust in them 
and their usefulness. You will find actual urls on internet:

"exclude=*releases" are so no repository installs vanilla repo files and 
mess with my repo config files.
